Posted in We continue to Rank The Giants, and today, we Rank the Defensive Line. For years, the defensive line has been the staple of the Giants. But, for whatever reason, this year was different. Injuries played a role, for sure, but the lack of a consistent pass rush hurt the Giants. JUSTIN TUCK: Tuck played most [...]

Ranking The Giants: Defensive Line
Jay Alford Out for Season
According to Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger, defensive tackle Jay Alford will undergo surgery on his knee, and will be placed on season ending injury reserve. Bad break for Alford. He was becoming an important part of the Giants defensive line. I suspect that the Giants will try to sign a defensive tackle off the [...]
It’s Time To Test That Vaunted Giants Depth
Everyone (including me) says that the Giants have phenomenal depth. Defensive line is stacked, we’ve all said. The secondary is young and full of talent. But, with injuries to Chris Canty, Aaron Ross, Jay Alford and many more recovering from injury, it’s time to know what this depth we’ve all touted is made of. Defensive [...]
DeOssie To Short Snap:
From The Star Ledger: Asked what the difference between snapping for field goals and punts is, Zak DeOssie cracked, “About eight yards.” Translation: DeOssie, who has served as the team’s long snapper for two seasons, doesn’t foresee any hitch in taking over short snapping duties in the wake of Jay Alford’s knee injury. Alford, who [...]
Alford Has Two Torn Ligaments:
From ProFootballTalk.com As we’ve previously said, probably more than a few times, the top priority for the preseason is to emerge from the four games (five for the teams tapped to play in Canton) with minimal injuries. The Giants picked up a potentially significant one on Saturday night, with defensive tackle Jay Alford reportedly suffering [...]
Alford Sprains Knee:
Defensive tackle Jay Alford, who was having an excellent summer with the Giants, had to be carted off the field tonight but the initial diagnosis is that he only has a sprained MCL in his left knee. “I hope that’s all it is,” Tom Coughlin said. “But they have to go through all the tests.” [...]
Should Giants Trade for Brandon Marshall?
I’m going to preface this by saying two things: 1) This is not an attack on the current Giants receivers. I’m actually quite happy with them and 2) I have no idea if this is going to happen. That said, Brandon Marshall is having “trust issues” with the Broncos management, because of the way the [...]
Sunday Thoughts And Musings
Here are some Sunday thoughts and musings for you on this beautiful day in New York. I’m going to do this Peter King style, with 10 things I think about the Giants. 1. I think that I’m excited for Chris Canty’s contributions this year. Not only will he take up space (he’s 6-7, 300), but [...]
Position Breakdown: Defensive Line
We now move over to defense, and start with the defensive line. Many people, myself included, were surprised when the Giants signed Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard in the offseason. Not because they were bad players, but because their defensive line was already really, really good. Those additions add more firepower to what I think [...]
